I notice that there were several guests who looked in on us. I wonder why they did not post? Hopefully they will come back and just say hello soon!

The guests might even be not so friendly guests Amber! There are all kinds of folks looking at internet posts and very often they disagree with something that might be posted. And that is great. I often have differing opinions with other people and they are willing to curse me and try to put me down if they can. And when they cant, Well they pick up their toys and walk away rather then to prove me wrong! But I will always listen to them any way! For far too many years I let folks push me around and make me feel stupid and ignorant. My formal education may not include years and years of college and a wall full of various and assorted degrees. Like you, my education did not cease with high school You and I have talked about this kind of behavior many months ago Amber. Long before Msn abandoned groups. And what I told you was, "Do not let anyone put you down!" And when they do, I just might be tempted to match wits with them just for fun! Once they understand that I respect their opinions and values then I can usually agree with them on most of their ideas! Hey Amber, maybe one of these "Guests" might be tempted to post something here. Let's hope so anyway Your friend Bill aka Bummy74

I'm always open to new ideas and suggestions, and posts here from new and old friends (or foes). Yeah, we all can't agree on everything all the time. I am hoping to get someone to come in and post something that has differences of opinions so we can all talk about it and share our thoughts.
What I meant, Barbara is one of those guests. All guests are welcome to post anything they wish, as long as there's no bashing or someone posting harmful words to another person, or using profanity. If someone wants to put something like that in their book and leaves an excerpt of that book, it needs to be made clear in the beginning so everyone can choose to read it or ignore it.

Bashing folks is not a good idea at anytime Amber. Some folks think that I am singleing them out when I have a comment to make. But that simply is not true. Folks often have a "thin Skin" and perhaps something might or might not apply to them.
Like I might say that I love italian food to someone. Someone else might barf at the very idea. I have no way of knowing they are totally chinese food lovers.
What folks need to understand is that we are all different. We need to look for things that we agree upon. But we also need to try looking at different ideas too.
Making fun of someone because he or she does not like to drink beer and get stupid drunk, because of his dislike, wont help to make friends of him!
Accept him or her for what he or she is!
There are several things that you and I have in common. And of course there are several things where we will disagree. Best of all is that you and I can learn from each other!

Exactly on all points. I do agree with you there. Everyone is different which makes us all interesting and I like that. If everyone was the same and all liked the same things, the world would be a boring place to live and no one would ever learn from anyone.
My landlord and us actually talked about that today as we cleaned the trailer we were about to move in. We're almost done moving in. We stayed in one for 2 weeks and our neighbor moved out and we were given first choice to move to this new one. I like this one better lol. More room and more storage lol. I'm a nut for storage lol.
Anyway, eventually we'll get new people coming in and posting. It just takes time.
